What to do next after an accident in Northern Rivers
Get appropriate medical attention, keep the accident and police details, identify the relevant CTP insurer and read every decision date carefully. If an insurer has already written to you, respond to the stated reason rather than sending a general history that does not address the decision.
Treatment access or travel distance in Northern Rivers may affect how records are gathered, but it does not change the need for dated medical evidence, proof of income where weekly payments are claimed, and a clear record of any review or PIC deadline.
Documents to prepare
- accident date, place, police event number if available, and vehicle registration details
- claim number, insurer name and the latest insurer letter or email
- medical certificate, GP notes, hospital records, imaging reports and treatment referrals
- photos, dashcam, CCTV request details, witness names and any diagram of what happened
- payslips, rosters, tax records, business records or PAWE material if income is affected
